Perhaps a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS (which is a de-googled Android)?

Google Pixel + GrapheneOS

For now, there isn't an alternative. Maybe a Pixel phone and GrapheneOS with the sandboxed Play Store would be the only choice, but for now, nobody knows.

Why not? Freedom isn't a given --- you need to fight for it.

I assume my S20+ won't get this because it's stopped getting anything but security updates. Sometime next year I'll look for the latest phone that's too old to get the new behavior.
